This is BS. There are more cops now than ever. They are armed to max like SWAT teams and almost totally militarized. I can’t drive across our small city without seeing at least 3 or 4 police cars. They sure don’t give me any sense of comfort. Even such departments like Indiana’s DNR has a fully loaded SWAT team. We don’t need any more cops. Having more cops is ineffective, when the cops practice a "catch and release" program. We could get by on a fraction of the police force, IF the funding was transferred to more prison space for chronic offenders.
